"We have no weapon": Ukraine is on the verge of a new offensive of the Russian Federation - GUR

GUR representative Vadim Skibitsky stated that the Russian army was no longer as "arrogant" as it was in 2022. The Kremlin will apply the "three -level" plan for destabilization of Ukraine. Russia will continue to try to capture Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine. This task has not changed. Moreover, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation set out the task of occupying "something" by May 9 or before the visit of President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin to China.

The deputy chairman of the GUR Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Major-General Vadim Skibitsky, told this, The Economist writes. The situation, he said, is now complicated and can be even worse. "Our problem is very simple: we have no weapons. They always knew that April and May would be difficult for us," Skibitsky said. He noted that Ukraine is now defending the time of the ravine in Donetsk region. This city "keeps the key" until Russia's further promotion to larger cities in the region.

According to Skybitsky, it is likely that the capture of the city is a matter of time. However, it all depends on the formation of reserves and the supply of assistance from the event. "Not today and not tomorrow, of course, but it all depends on our reserves and deliveries," he said. Skybitsky stated that Ukraine is far from stabilizing the situation, and Russia throws "everything" that can be achieved to achieve its goals. Moreover, the Russian army was no longer as "arrogant" as it was in 2022.

The invaders are now in clear plan and with a single command. According to Skibitsky, Russia is preparing for the offensive in the Kharkiv and Sumy regions in the northeast. When it happens, it depends on the stability of Ukrainian defense in the Donbass. The main offensive of the Russian Federation will begin in late May or early June. In the war against Ukraine, Russia already uses 514,000 land servicemen.

He noted that the group of troops of the Russian Federation, which is located near Kharkiv region, has 35 thousand people. The Kremlin wants to expand it to 50-70 thousand servicemen. The Russian Federation also forms reserves in the central part of the country, which can be sent to other occupiers. Skybitsky noted that even this will not be enough to capture such a large city as Kharkiv, but these forces will be enough for a smaller task. "Fast surgery on entry and exit: possibly.

But the operation to take Kharkiv or even the cities of Sumy is another order. The Russians know it. And we know it," he said. The general said that May would be a key month, as Russia will apply a "three -tier" plan for destabilization of Ukraine. The first part of the plan is the military. Despite the fact that the US Congress delayed the good of increasing military assistance, it will pass a week before it gets to the front line.

The second part of the plan, according to Sibitsky, is the Russian misinformation campaign aimed at undermining the Ukrainian mobilization and political legitimacy of President Vladimir Zelensky, whose reign theoretically expires on May 20. Although the Constitution clearly permits an indefinite continuation of the presidency in wartime. The third part of the plan, according to General, is a continuous campaign of Russia for isolation of Ukraine at the international level.

Since December, the situation has improved a little, but General Skybitsky does not want to announce the termination of the emergency. Ukrainian officials are concerned that the next wave of mobilized recruits will lead to unmotivated soldiers with a bad moral spirit. The only rescue moment, according to General, is that Russia faces similar problems. Her army is unrecognizable among the professional corps that unleashed the war.
